Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 740 Shishi's ultimate joy in the world, "Lost in Thailand" and "The Piano in a Factory" enter the New Year's film season!

"Believe me, I only want to experience the greatest joys in life."

"I could trust you just now, and I can trust you now, but what about the future..."

"Hmm~ What about the future... sigh~"

"People change."

"Then I will try my best not to change."

"This is impossible……"

……

Ma Xun doesn't like talking while doing things, but Shi Shi is quite different; her delicate body... cough cough.

However, to be fair, Shishi didn't mention anything else; she was only focused on Ma Xun... yes, those three words.

Given this, Ma Xun naturally couldn't say much.

Then let's focus wholeheartedly and do it seriously!
Despite her difficulty walking, Shishi still left.

Ma Xun wanted her to stay the night, but Shi Shi said she had to go back, otherwise her parents would worry.

Actually, Ma Xun's words were also a test. It seems that Shi Shi still wants to continue being her parents' good girl.

She's from Beijing, and she clearly comes from a very good family. If she were in Shanghai, that would be one thing, but if she stays out all night in Beijing, she definitely won't be able to explain it to her parents.

However, there is a special point here, which is that even though you, Shishi, play so wildly in bed, you still have to go home and be a good girl.

Hehe... Interesting, interesting.

For some reason, Ma Xun had a feeling that maybe what Shi Shi said was true, and that she just wanted to do "that" with him.

Maybe... never mind, I shouldn't analyze her.

In fact, if Ma Xun had arranged things correctly, "Scarlet Heart" would have truly become a hit.

If we go by what Mr. Cai said, well, that guy isn't really that great.

Ma Xun remembered that in the original timeline, "Scarlet Heart" was initially broadcast on some local TV stations, not on satellite TV from the beginning.

It's obvious that Ms. Cai is just trying to make a quick buck; her vision is really limited.

Now, Ma Xun plans to make this drama the opening drama of the year!
Yes, that's much better.

For now, he should focus on the year-end holiday season and the Spring Festival season next year.

There's nothing we can do about it; some people are just much more proactive than him.

"Um...is Mr. Ma home?"

Listen, someone's already here, knocking on the door.

"here I am."

Ma Xun didn't make things difficult for him and went straight to open the door.

"Hehe..." The newcomer's face was beaming with smiles. "Hello, Mr. Ma, hehe..."

Xu Guangtou, this guy's smile is quite comical. Of course, he's also smart; he wears a hat even in this cold weather, otherwise his bald head would be unbearable.

Ma Xun didn't say much, but simply led them to the persimmon tree, where the two sat and chatted.

They didn't even offer us hot water or anything.

"Mr. Ma, I've got everything ready for our film 'Lost in Thailand' exactly as you requested, so..."

"Is everything really done according to my requirements?"

"Of course! Bingbing's scene has been filmed."

"anything else?"

"besides?"

"Never mind, don't rush, think about it slowly, let's talk about something else first."

"well."

Xu Guangtou had absolutely no idea what Ma Xun meant by "there is more".

Actually, the reshoot of Bingbing's scene was indeed arranged by Ma Xun, but the "there is more" was something Ma Xun had given to the bald man beforehand.

Treat others with reason.

There's a lot to say about this, but no matter what, you, Xu Guangtou, should be able to understand.

It's a pity that you look like this now... Hmph.

Many movie fans probably remember that Xu Guangtou collaborated with Bao Qiang on the film "Lost in Thailand".

Baoqiang and Xu Guangtou originally had a pretty good relationship, and the movie was quite successful, so they got another movie together, which was "Lost in Thailand".

However, those who frequently travel through time will know that this was the only time the two of them worked together on a film; they never collaborated again afterward.

There's something fishy going on here!
Before Ma Xun transmigrated, he had heard quite a lot of detailed information, but he couldn't be sure of it.

Simply put, "Lost in Thailand" was not originally Xu Guangtou's project. The director was Ye Weimin, and the screenwriter was Wen Jun. To put it bluntly, it was a film with Hong Kong capital.

But Xu Guangtou was something else; he used a series of methods to make the forces in Hong Kong suffer losses.

As for how he did it... you can definitely tell that this guy is really smart.

The movie "Lost in Thailand" is quite similar to an American film called "Airplanes, Trains and Cars".

No, just by hearing the name of this American movie, I believe many people already know what it is, right?
The male lead in this movie is still Steve Martin, nicknamed "The White-Haired Man" in Hollywood. Of course, he's not the one who plays the bald detective.

That said, Xu Guangtou's methods were quite sophisticated.

This movie is obviously inspired by Hollywood movies, but he first found someone and asked him to say that the script was written by him based on some of his bizarre encounters during a trip.

This person is quite famous; it's Liu Yiwei, who's really good at cooking.

Whether Mr. Liu can actually cook is another matter, but whether he has actually experienced as many bizarre things as those in the movies is certainly uncertain.

But it doesn't matter, Xu Guangtou has another trick up his sleeve: he found a currently unknown graduate from the Central Academy of Drama, Tian Yusheng.

Now, not many people have heard of his name, but later, his "Ex-Files" trilogy was heavily criticized, yet it raked in huge box office revenue.

Interestingly, Tian Yusheng set up a studio, and the real boss of this studio was actually Xu Guangtou.

After all this, "Lost in Thailand" became a movie that was originally created by Liu Yiwei and then adapted by Tian Yusheng and his studio.

With funds coming in from Hong Kong, everyone can start bidding.

And then, sure enough, once Xu Guangtou saw that he was making money, he kicked Wen Jun and the others out of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong was naturally unwilling to be eliminated so easily, which led to various controversies surrounding the film.

First, Xu Guangtou was sued in Hong Kong, and then the media was mobilized to say that the film "Lost in Thailand" was plagiarized.

Anyway, it caused a minor uproar.

Regardless of the circumstances, Xu Guangtou's previous actions ensured that no one could accuse this film of plagiarism, although we probably had a feeling it was plagiarism, and the copyright did indeed belong to him.

Liu Yiwei had already said those things, so she had no choice but to continue. Tian Yusheng, on the other hand, was a recent graduate and belonged to a vulnerable group.

Is this how Hong Kong capitalists bully people?!

And so, Xu Guangtou won a great victory.

Is Ma Xun really that easy to fool now?!

"Hey Xu Guangtou, can you tell me the truth?"

“Mr. Ma asked me, and I will absolutely tell you the truth!”

Xu Guangtou still had a big smile on his face, and he was very confident.

Ma Xun laughed directly, "Then let me ask you something. How come that Mr. Liu, who is so good at cooking, is so lucky to have experienced so many bizarre things on his trip?"

“This…” Xu Guangtou had already sensed something, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

It can already be considered winter now, since it's the beginning of winter. Although Beijing isn't particularly cold, it's definitely not hot either.

His sweat...

Ma Xun then laughed and said, "How you operate it is your business, but you're too weak on your own, aren't you?"

These words... Xu Guangtou's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Ma! You are my protector!"

That's right, Xu Guangtou, you're not much of a threat on your own. Even if you do something flawless, someone will still find a small problem.

Ma Xun is different. For example, with Wen Jun and the others... he can just go to Fatty Wang and let Fatty Wang handle his good friend Wen Jun.

It's that simple.

However, this is of course conditional.

"Xu Guangtou, let me be frank, you're not playing me for a fool, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Guangtou broke out in a cold sweat!
"Mr. Ma, don't worry! Even if you gave me a million lives, I wouldn't mess with you... Besides, you know so much about this film, what else can I do?"

That's right, Ma Xun just made a big show of things, clearly telling Xu Guangtou that he knows all of Xu's tricks.

You think you can outsmart me?
"Okay, you seem alright to me, I'll definitely help you this time, but..."

Before Ma Xun could finish speaking, Xu Guangtou bowed and scraped, saying, "I will absolutely guarantee Mr. Ma's interests!"

This guy was so confident, it seems like this is the best he can do.

"Lost in Thailand is going to be a huge hit! Get ready!"

Xu Guangtou's eyes lit up at Ma Xun's words.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma! Thank you, Mr. Ma!"

……

Ma Xun stunned Xu Guangtou under the persimmon tree, and that's how this year's Lunar New Year film season began.

There are quite a few films, and some big-budget films have already made bold pronouncements.

"The blockbuster film 'The Warring States' is coming! Sun Honglei's latest masterpiece!"

"The Warring States Period: A Top-Tier Blockbuster!"

"The Warring States" is definitely an impressive blockbuster!

Even before December, the TV series "Warring States" had already launched a powerful promotional campaign.

This is normal, given the fierce competition in the domestic film industry. It's perfectly reasonable for a blockbuster to start its pre-release hype as early as November.

But is this the only blockbuster?

"Feng Xiaogang's 'The Great Earthquake' is here!"

"Holy crap! This movie is amazing, 'The Great Earthquake'!"

"Director Feng is trying to defend his reputation as the king of the Lunar New Year film season!"

That's right, it's definitely not just one blockbuster. Feng Xiaogang is also returning to the Lunar New Year film season with his latest blockbuster, "The Great Earthquake"!

Are these two movies about to engage in a fierce battle?!

It's not over yet. I don't know when it started, but news about two movies has appeared online.

"Lost in Thailand? How embarrassing can it be?"

"The Piano in a Factory, which gained fame at the Tokyo International Film Festival, is coming!"

"Is 'Buddha Mountain' not showing now? Is 'The Piano in a Factory' being released?"

"Lost in Thailand" and "The Piano in a Factory"... these two movies don't look like blockbusters at all!

However, one thing is certain: this year's Lunar New Year film season will be absolutely fantastic...
